“Kristin did a great job sitting for our dogs. She spent several days with them and they had a great time. The dogs seemed very comfortable with her and we were happy she was able to spend lots of time with them. She provided updates multiple times per day including pictures of them around the house and around the pool. We came home to happy and stress free dogs. We would definitely book her again!”


“Justin saved me by watching my sweet foster dog blaze for a few days! He is always giving the pups good walks, and lots of love and play time! I will always ask Justin for his services because he is the best!”


“Laura was great! Made sure to give us frequent updates and called if there were any concerns. She was a total lifesaver when it came to coming down to take care of our pups. It was also very nice of her to tidy up the house for us before she left as well. We definitely recommend having Laura help out with your fur babies!”


“Evie was so kind throughout her stay with our dog. She sent multiple pictures and videos per day and kept us updated on all the happenings. She was communicative and thoughtful and we will definitely rebook her again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs every since I was about 16 looking for a job. I would house sit or just walk family and neighbors dogs. I have always treated every pet like my own. Dogs need attention and love. I'm currently working part-time but in my home. I am able to play, feed, water, and love on your doggie as needed. Doggie love is the BEST. I feed, water, and take outside. I play about 10 minutes after eating so they can get that energy out. I love hard and make sure your doggie feels right at home.

About: I’ve worked in the pet care industry for three years. That’s given me the opportunity to care for almost every breed, I’ve seen every temperament. I absolutely can confidently care all shapes and sizes! With my current job, I have a break in between shifts. I’m available morning, mid day, and also nights/evenings. My schedule is pretty flexible. I’m able to accommodate many requests. I am willing to follow whatever routine you normally have at home! Anything that gives your pet a peace of mind and keeps them comfortable while you’re away!

“I have no words to describe how grateful I am for Lisa! I was just away for a week long work trip and she cared for my little boy like her own…and he was sick. Lisa, you are simply the best! I think Finley is ready for me to leave again so he can cuddle with you. Thank you so much!”


“India was a godsend. Due to a family situation, our requested dates changed, changed again, then had to be extended. India was very accommodating and communicated quickly on how she could adjust to our requests. During our time away, she sent numerous pictures and kept us up to date on the daily activities with our dogs. Our neighbors commented on how friendly she was and how often they saw her out with the pups. When we returned home she had even taken a few Polaroids of the dogs with a thank you note (she’s quite the artistic photographer in addition to being a wonderful sitter!) We definitely plan to use her again for upcoming trips. We can’t rate India highly enough.”
